Abstract
An oral suction tip is described which includes a tubular body. The tubular body has a peripheral sidewall, a first end, a second end, and a single passage for transmitting fluids extending between the first end and the second end. A
mouthpiece is provided at the second end of the tubular body.
At least one vacuum release aperture extends through the sidewall of the tubular body in direct communication with the fluid passage. The at least one vacuum release aperture is spaced from the mouthpiece, such that when the mouthpiece is inserted into a patient's mouth the at least one vacuum release aperture is not confined within the patient's mouth. A porous guard overlies in spaced relation the at least one vacuum release aperture. This prevents accidental blockage of the at least one vacuum release aperture and also prevents regulation of the suction by means of the at least one vacuum release aperture.

Description
2168~19 TITLE OF THE INVENTION:
An oral suction tip NAME ( S ) OF INVENTOR ( S ):
Ronald L. S. Whitehouse Connie Watson FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a form of oral suction tip which prevents a back flow of oral contaminants from a suction line into a patient's mouth.
R~ OUND OF THE INVENTION
Dental suction lines have attached to their remote ends a disposable oral suction tip (also known as a "saliva e~ector tip" or an "evacuator tip") . It is inserted into the patient's mouth for the purpose of drawing away excess fluids through the suction line. In the April 1993 edition of the Journal of the American Dental Association, Watson and Whitehouse published a paper entitled "Possibility of Cross-contAm;nAtion between Dental Patients by means of the Saliva Ejector". This paper documented that, when a patient closes his or her lips around the oral suction tip, a higher vacuum can be temporarily created in the mouth than in the suction line and a back flow of fluid contA;n;ng oral contaminants from the suction line into the mouth can occur.
Prior to the study by Watson and Whitehouse it had been felt that disposal and replacement of the oral suction tip between patients was sufficient protection for the patient. The study clearly showed the presence of alpha-haemolytic ~1~8719 organisms, characteristic of oral flora, in the suction line after use. This raises the possibility of a cross-contamination occurring between patients, and demonstrates the need to re-evaluate sanitation and hygienic practises in dental offices.
The original study by Watson and Whitehouse was conducted with oral suction tips connected to low volume suction lines.
A subsequent study by Watson and Whitehouse with the oral suction tips connected to high volume suction lines has determined that the back flow of oral cont~rin~nts is even more pronounced in high volume suction lines.
United States Patent Application 08/220,550 by Whitehouse and Watson relates to a method for preventing a back flow of oral contaminants in a suction line. The method involves placing an unregulated vacuum release aperture through a tubular sidewall of an oral suction tip. However, the method is not effective if the vacuum release aperture becomes blocked during use, and the patent contains a teaching that preventative measures should be taken to prevent such blockage from occurring.
SU ~ RY OF THE INVENTION
What is required is an oral suction tip for which accidental blockage of the vacuum release aperture is unlikely, if not impossible. It is preferred that a deliberate attempt at regulation of suction by means of the vacuum release aperture be precluded.
According to the present invention there is provided an oral suction tip which is comprised of a tubular body. The tubular body has a peripheral sidewall, a first end, a second end, and a single passage for transmitting fluids extending between the first end and the second end. A mouthpiece is 21~719 provided at the second end of the tubular body. At least one vacuum release aperture extends through the sidewall of the tubular body in direct communication with the fluid passage.
The at least one vacuum release aperture is spaced from the mouthpiece, such that when the mouthpiece is inserted into a patient~s mouth the at least one vacuum release aperture is not confined within the patient's mouth. A porous guard overlies in spaced relation the at least one vacuum release aperture.
This prevents accidental blockage of the at least one vacuum release aperture and also prevents regulation of the suction by means of the at least one vacuum release aperture.
The presence of a porous guard makes it unlikely that the vacuum release aperture will ever become accidentally blocked.
In order to make the guard porous there must be a plurality of passages to permit the free flow of air. It will be appreciated that porous guards can be constructed with such a great number of air passages that accidental blockage or even deliberate attempts at regulation can be made practically impossible. When determining the number of vacuum release apertures required and the size of such vacuum release apertures care must be exercised to ensure a sufficient release of vacuum to prevent a backflow of oral contaminants from the suction line while ensuring that the oral suction tip maintains sufficient suction to perform its intended function.
Regardless of the number and configuration of vacuum release apertures, it is preferable that each vacuum release aperture be guarded in order to prevent accidental blockage or a deliberate attempt at regulating the suction by means of the vacuum release apertures.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DR~WINGS
These and other features of the invention will become more apparent from the following description in which reference is made to the appended drawings, wherein:
_ FIGURE 1 is a side elevation view of an oral suction tip constructed in accordance with the teachings of the present invention.
FIGURE 2 is top plan view of the oral suction tip illustrated in FIGURE 1.

DET~TT~n DESCRIPTION OF THE ~K~ ~Kn~V EMBODIMæNT
The preferred embodiment, an oral suction tip generally identified by reference numeral 10, will now be described with reference to FIGURES 1 through 4.
Referring to FIGURES 1 through 4, oral suction tip 10 consists of a tubular body 12. Referring to FIGURES 1 and 2, tubular body 12 has a first end 14 and a second end 16.
Referring to FIGURE 3, tubular body 12 has a peripheral sidewall 18 and a single passage 20 for transmitting fluids.
Referring to FIGURES 1 and 2, fluid passage 20 (shown in dotted lines) extends between first end 14 and second end 16.
Referring to FIGURES 1, 2, and 4, a mouthpiece 22 is provided at second end 16 of tubular body 12. Referring to FIGURES 1 and 2, one vacuum release aperture 24 is provided which is spaced from mouthpiece 22. Referring to FIGURE 1, vacuum release aperture 24 extends through sidewall 18 of tubular body 12 in direct communication with fluid passage 20. Referring to FIGURES 1 through 4, a porous guard 26 overlies in spaced relation vacuum release aperture 24. Two large air passages 28 and 30 extend through guard 26. Air passage 28 is illustrated in FIGURE 3. Air passage 30 is illustrated in FIGURE 4.
21(i8719 The use and operation of oral suction tip 10 will now be described with reference to FIGURES 1 through 4. In use, first end 14 of oral suction tip 10 i8 connected to a suction line (not shown). Mouthpiece 22, positioned at second end 16, is inserted into the patient's mouth. The presence of vacuum release aperture 24 prevents a back flow of oral contA~inAnts.
During dental procedures, it is not uncommon for dental personnel to push the oral suction tip to one side of a patient's mouth in order to provide more room for dental instruments. The patient is sometimes asked to assist by holding the oral suction tip to one side of his or her mouth.
With prior art devices, there was always a danger that the patient or dental personnel would accidentally block the vacuum release aperture with their hands when handling the oral suction tip. Oral suction tip 10 corrects this problem.
Vacuum release aperture 24 is guarded by porous guard 26.
Guard 26, as illustrated, has two air passages 28 and 30, as illustrated in FIGURES 3 and 4. In the event of a blockage of air pa~sage 28 air can still pass through air passage 30 to vacuum release aperture 24. This means that an accidental blockage of vacuum release aperture 24 cannot occur. By increasing the number of air passages, even a deliberate blockage of vacuum release passage 24 can be avoided.
It will be apparent to one skilled in the art that the key to the present invention is that guard 26 be porous in the sense that it must allow air to pass freely to vacuum release aperture 24. The illustrated embodiment with two large air passages 28 and 30 is preferred solely because it is inexpensive to manufacture. It will be appreciated, however, that guard 26 can be made more elaborate with a plurality of smaller air passages. It will finally be apparent to one skilled in the art that other modifications may be made to the illustrated embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as hereinafter defined in the Claims.
